It&#39;s the first &quot;still life&quot; painting, at least that&#39;s what &quot;they&#39;ve said&quot; in Western art. It was at the Met in NY years ago when they had a large Caravaggio show. I think it&#39;s just called a Basket with Fruit. Fifteen Ninety-Six is the date.jdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11013701321272042012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-37861122626859886812012-10-27T14:49:44.194+01:002012-10-27T14:49:44.194+01:00I think I maybe need to make that clearer next tim...I think I maybe need to make that clearer next time.

I know it&#39;s by Caravaggio because of his distinct painting style, and the little known fact, that he painted the mould on the leaves exactly has they appear in nature, thus allowing plant pathologists today to correctly identify the mould species on the grape leaves.
